House Sitting in Riverdale

“Avital is great. My dog loves spending time with Avital and it puts my mind at ease! Avital is a fantastic communicator and always keeps me posted on how things are going! Highly recommend!”

“James kept us informed, kept our high energy dog happy and cared for. He took her on walks where she met other dogs to play with. He took her with him on short trips out of town. He followed feeding and care instructions well. He left our home in great shape, took out the garbage and kept everything clean and ready for us. He was very conservative of any resources to which we gave him permission to use or to consume. We highly recommend James!”

“Noelle was wonderful with our cat and large dog, and I really appreciated her great communication throughout. She was observant in caring for them, checked in regularly as we'd agreed, and was a very considerate houseguest while we were away. This was our first time entrusting our pets and home to another person, and it really put me at ease to come home to happy animals. We look forward to working with her again soon!”

“Alexa took care of Charlie from Friday afternoon to Sunday may16-18. She sent photos showing his walks and wakeups. Unfortunately he got into her box of chocolates so she took him to the vet. We were on our way home when this happened”

“Ashley was great and took really good care of Olive while I was away. She listened to all of my instructions and was super communicative. She sent pictures and updates every couple of hours and answered all of my messages and questions. Would 100% recommend :)”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Brooke is an all around wonderful person and it translates over to the way she cares for dogs. Our dog, Chancha, had the best time with her! It was a last minute booking, too! My boyfriend took me on a surprise trip to propose and if it weren’t for Brooke’s quick response and willingness to dog sit, he might’ve haven’t had that chance or made this trip happen! So, thank you beyond words!!! She is responsible, compassionate, and truly someone that loves dogs. I wouldn’t skip her over! She is 6 stars out of 5.”

About: I don’t have dogs or cats myself but I do have bunnies that I feed and take care of. My cousins have dogs and I treat them like my own, frequently going on walks with the two of them. I'm a college student who loves pets and being active!! I'm available for walks in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet area with lots of side streets. The other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.

“Sherry Lee did an amazing job. She stayed in our home over the holiday weekend and cared for Archie our two year old Cockapoo. She updated us constantly, sent photos and videos, and it was obvious how relaxed he was in his own routine even though we were away. We felt so comfortable and are already looking at additional dates for Sherrylynne to come stay and watch Archie. We highly recommend hiring Sherry Lynne to stay in your home and pet sit your furry friends.”

“Aletris was great with my dogs. She kept us updated and took care of them like her own. She went above and beyond will definitely rebook with her!”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

“Joseph is fantastic. My puppy loved him and took to him right away. Thank you, Joseph!”

“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life from before I could remember to now. I’ve had special needs dogs, rescues, and pure breeds who require a little extra love. I’ve cared for senior dogs ( who are blind and deaf) and trained puppies successfully. Over all, I adore dogs of all kinds, shapes, and sizes! I can’t wait to adventure with your pup! I am an elementary school teacher. I am very affectionate and attentive when it comes to animals. I would love to walk and cuddle your pup all summer long! I have two very friendly dogs and a husband who adores pups just as much as I do! We have a very large fenced-in yard where your pup can get in their daily zoomies! We also have two sides of our house where, if necessary, your pup can have alone time with me and away from my other two pups (who can hang out with my husband). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will be sure to follow all routines you set. It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.

“Sonya is absolutely incredible ! Extremely reliable, courteous, professional and punctual! She genuinely loves our dogs (2 exceptionally large and rambunctious Bernese mountain pups > 130lbs each!!). From the moment she arrives she provides constant attention, playtime in the backyard and is very attentive when it comes to following specific instructions for the pups. Highly recommended her !”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 13. I have 3+ years experience volunteering at my local animal rescue and I have had many of my own pets to take care of in the past as well. I have 3+ years experience with paid pet sitting from neighbors, family and family friends. I love taking my work home with me thru boarding and giving animals a home away from home when owners have to travel, or even just daily walks and trips to the local dog park! I have school classes from 10-2 every weekday I’m home all day on weekends I usually wake up around 7:30 and go to bed at 10pm I have a lot of experience working with pets that have separation anxiety, I can offer loads of play time and outdoor time for your pet. whether in my own home or my clients home i can keep your pet engaged and happy wherever we are. I’m currently working part time from home so I have more then enough time to keep pets entertained and have fun in the summer sun. I have a large 2 story home with plenty of space to run around and plenty of spots to settle down for a midday nap. 5 acre unfenced property so I’ll be sure to keep your pup leashed while outside

About: I believe in an individualized approach to pets and pet care; we aren’t cookie-cutter and neither are our furry friends! I flourish most when I am serving and taking care of others, including animals, and am here to share peace of mind and reliable servicing at an affordable rate. Whether you’re in the market for boarding, walks, or some enrichment time while you’re at work, it would be my joy to help you out. Experienced with all sorts of doggies, all ages and needs. I work remotely full-time and have an immense amount of flexibility during the day and evening. Walks, potty breaks, snuggles, and play sessions can be plentiful ‘round these parts! Please note: boarding is limited to dogs 25 lbs or less, thank you! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of safe things to sniff, I also have a small and friendly terrier mix who loves having friends over to walk and play with. If your babe requires crating, easy peezy, otherwise they are generally allowed on furniture and beds. If I am coming to your home, rest assured it will be treated like my own - with care! The ultimate goal here is to make your pup feel safe and cared for while you’re away, and for you to feel peace of mind!

“Christine was fantastic!! I knew my kitty was in good care with her. I could tell my kitty was happy and well cared for. Christine jumped in at the last minute to replace a sitter we had a bad experience with, and she followed every instruction, was very communicative, and bonded well with my kitty. Will definitely book her again.”
